mattrefghi / cwebp-all-files-in-folder.bat
Created December 8, 2023 20:47
This is a fairly dumb batch file that, when placed in a folder, will run Google's cwebp.exe (https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/precompiled) against all .jpg files in the same folder as the script. Could be a lot smarter, but it did the trick, figured it could be a good starting point for someone else.
@echo off
set /a counter=0
for %%f in (*.jpg) do (
C:\libwebp\bin\cwebp.exe -q 80 %%f -o %%~nf.webp
set /A counter=counter+1
)

forstie / Generating spreadsheets with SQL.sql
Last active May 2, 2024 07:54
In this working example, we establish an SQL table which contains the spreadsheets we'd like to have generated. Each row in the table includes the query that will supply the data for the spreadsheet, and the location in the IFS where the spreadsheet should reside. Further, a different procedure emails the spreadsheets to an interested consumer. …

This example simplifies a previous gist. ACS is now being shipped on your IBM i via PTFs. Subsequent PTFs will ship when major enhancements are made to ACS.

-- Now that ACS is shipped on the IBM i via PTFs, we no longer need to manually move the
